Don’t settle because of what once was,
Don’t swallow the hurt simply because,
The taste is familiar. A bitterness you’ve accepted.
Like it’s the only thing on the menu, it’s what you constantly select—it’s
Incredible what’s possible, if a different choice you make.
But it’s the different, the unknown that keeps you from taking the step you so desperately need to take.
When’s the last time,
You invested time,
Cutting off branches that didn’t bear fruit.
When the pain from the strains and the chains you felt you didn’t just mute.
When’s the last time,
You catered to yourself and your needs.
And when other opposed your priorities, you reminded yourself you have the keys.
Reminded yourself you can be the David and teach Goliath something new.
Reminded yourself that loving you steeped in a cup is how joy is brewed.
Don’t settle because—of what you can be.
A life where you are the sole MC.
And if the vibes not lit, you can change that up quick.
Because you know your days on the stage will soon be over with.
Uber yourself into a different reality,
Because you deserve something new.
And a matrimony awaits between yourself and your happiness,
All that’s left for you is to say I do.
